NON-REFILOLABLE BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 3, 1907.

Application filed June 13,1907. Serial No- 878,811.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, O'r'ro JOHNSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Beatty, in the county of Nye and State of Nevada, have made certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improvement in non-refillable bottles and consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawing-Figure 1 is a side view, and Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of a bottle provided with my improvements. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of the stopper showing the shape of the check valve which prevents a refilling of the bottle and permits the contents of the bottle to be dispensed in the use of the invention, and Fig. 4- is a sectional view partly broken away and illustrating the bottle inverted for dispensing its contents.

The stopper A, which may be 0 cork, rubber, wood, wood fiber, or other suitable material, is fitted to the neck B of the bottle and is provided at its lower end with the spring hooks O, by which the stopper when insorted in the bottle neck, will be locked in place there in in position as shown in Fig. 2, so it cannot be removed. This stopper is provided w..th a longitudinal tube D, which like the other metallic portions of the improvement, may be of aluminium or o;her suitable material, and this tube D projects at its outer end beyond the stopper A and is threaded to receive the cap E, which overlies the packing disk F and presses the same closely against the outer end oi the tube D and also against the outer end of the venting tube G, which terminates at its outer end in conicidence with the outer end of the tube D as shown in Fig. 2. The venting tube G extends downwardly within the tube D and into the body B of the bottle, jar, jug, demijohn, or other vessel and preferably is deflected laterally at its lower end toward one side of the body 13 and is provided at such end with a valve G, which when the bottle is inverted, opens by gravity to permit air to enter the body of the vessel, but will close when the bottle is readjusted to the position shown in Fig. 1, and thus operate to prevent the refilling of the bottle through the venting tube Gr.

At its lower end the tube D is enlarged laterally at D iorming a valve chamber H in which operates the valve 1, which is hinged at 1 adjacent to the venting tube and turns on said hinge to closed position against its seat 1 or to open position, in which latter position it is stopped by the stop projection J within the valve chamber H as shown.

It will be noticed that the outer wall H of the valve chamber H curves laterally from the line of the tube D and facilitates the pouring of the contents of the vessel out past the open valve I and thence out through the tube D, when the vessel is inverted as will be understood from Fig. 4 of the drawing.

In operation it will be noticed that when the stopper is applied as shown, it cannot be withdrawn without breaking the bottle and the contents of the bottle can be freely dispensed, the valve I opening as shown in Fig. 4 to permit the outlet of the liquid and the air in the bottle venting through the tube G when the cap E is removed.

I claim- 1. In a non-relillable bottle a stopper provided with means whereby it may be fastened in a bottle neck, a tube extending longitudinally within said stopper and projecting at its outer end beyond the stopper and having at its inner end a laterally extending valve chamber, a valve seat at the lower end of said chamber, a stop projection above said valve seat and spaced apart therefrom, an air venting tube extending through the longitudinal tube and a check valve hinged to the longitudinal tube at one side of the air venting tube and movable at its free edge between the valve seat and the stop projection, and a cap for closing the outer end of the longitudinal tube, substantially as set forth.

2. In a non-refillable bottle, a stopper combined with a tube extending longitudinally therein and projecting at its outer end beyond the outer end of the stopper and having at its inner end a laterally extending valve chamber, a flap valve operating in said chamber and a cap for closing the outer end of the longitudinal tube, substantially as set forth.

3. In a non-refillable bottle a stopper provided with a longitudinal tube having at its inner end at one side a lateral chamber, an air venting tube extending through the longitudinal tube at the opposite side thereof from the lateral chamber, and a valve hinged to the longitudinal tube between the air venting tube and the lateral chamber and swinging in said lateral chamber between open and closed positions, substantially as set forth.

4. A bottle stopper combined with a tube extending longitudinally therein and projecting at its outer end beyond the stopper, a check valve in the said longitudinal tube, an air venting tube extending within the longi tudinal tube and projecting at its outer end into coincidence with the outer end of the longitudinal tube, a packing for closing the outer ends of both said tubes, and a cap screwing on the longitudinal tube and pressing said packing to its place, substantially as set forth.
